Free Aries Horoscope for January 2012
Happy New Year, Aries! The year opens with all the planets moving peaceably forward throughout the month–with the exception of your ruler Mars, which we’ll get to in a moment. So let’s tackle things topic by topic.
Topic #1: relationships. Saturn in Libra has been making a strong argument for continuing in an ongoing relationship–even if you don’t always feel like it. Meanwhile, Uranus in your own sign has been advocating for changes and trying to push your intuitive perceptions about your life up to the surface. If you can get these puppies on the same page, you can figure out how changes in your own life can foster a more open, vibrant relationship. If that’s too much work, at least you can take advantage of Saturn’s happy relationship with Neptune this month to enjoy associations and friendships of all types.
Topic #2: work and/or health. Mars spends the entire month in Virgo, stationing and then turning retrograde on the 23rd. Virgo is a knowledge-seeking sign, an information-gatherer. When a planet goes retrograde in Virgo, it often means the planet is trying to figure something out. It is trying to take the information gathered from various sources and put it together like a puzzle. Hence, it’s a good bet that one of your main tasks during this month and beyond is going to be to figure out some puzzle related to your work or health. When the pieces all fit, you’ll be ready to move forward on something of importance to you.
Topic #3: money. Jupiter in Taurus started moving forward on Christmas, and that’s good news for you. Taurus is your money sign, and Taurus operates on intuition and instinct. It follows its feelings. Now that Jupiter has stopped squirreling around, your own intuition regarding financial matters is likely to be less clouded. You can follow your instincts and make some progress.
Topic #4: career. Which, in astrology, is a bit different from work and/or money. This month, the sun, Mercury and Pluto spend time in your career house. Pluto will be here for a long while, with one of his missions being to help you identify what’s wrong with your career path if anything is. The Aries solar chart is rather acutely attuned to the potential for problems in career anyway (your solar career sign is the worrying Capricorn), and each year the sun visits this sector to help you set course and figure out if anything’s the matter or needs to be attended to. With Pluto in this sector, your annual career check-up should be even more conscientious and prudent than normal. Really get in and dig deep to see what needs to be fixed not just in January but in your entire career path. That’s a worthwhile endeavor that can pay off big time down the line.
